Rose Bowl - (#1) USC vs. (#2) Texas - Stand Up and Be Counted!

Halftime…

Texas - 16
USC - 10

I hope Ashlee Simpson is at least 3000 miles from here.

You have some play-by-play experience there, Yeti? :smiley:

I’m not sure that listening to the USC band playing Michael Jackson is any better.

Trust me…it is.

Just look at last year’s thread, starting at post #5.

Well, Mike…Texas has certainly has mastered the crotchgrab and are picking off Trojan passes like a…like someone pulling off a Trojan after a score.

Another thought…As I recall the Rose Bowl only allows the team bands to play during the half…kind of refreshing after last year’s debacle. They don’t sound great…but they do sound better than somebody lip-syncing (sp?).

That’s better…USC stiffens and stops Texas early in the drive.

SC powers their way down the field with Lendell White making two great runs to finish it.

USC - 17
Texas - 16

Nice run by Lendale White (not the TD run, the one right before it)

Those missed PATs will ALWAYS come back to haunt you.

Texas is back to their successful no-huddle offense…lanky Young falls down at the 35 of USC.

Another for the whiners

Young scores, and for the life of me, I don’t understand why they couldn’t run one more no huddle play for the 2 pointer…

Texas - 23
USC - 17

Vince Young is looking like the best player in the nation. If he declares I really hope the Saints go after him instead of Leinhart, who supposedly looks to be planning an Eli if we do draft him.

Well, Leinart is starting to get back to true form and taking USC down the field.

Damn, Lendell…give em a slight chance to tackle you!

USC - 24
Texas - 23

LenDale White is having a hell of a game.

He looked good at the start of the 1st half, too. Before he realized he was in a game…

Well, he did take two hard hits to the head in the 2nd…

USC does have a dang fine offensive line, I’ll give 'em that.

Gah, I hope the Texans get that kicker
